Zara Holland says having sex on Love Island was her biggest mistake ever
Shamed former Miss Great Britain laments being stripped of her title
BEAUTY queen Zara Holland has criticised Miss Great Britain bosses for stripping her of her title in the wake of her on-screen romp with Alex Bowen on Love Island.
Reflecting on her actions to TV presenter Lorraine Kelly on her ITV chat show, the 20-year-old said: "It was in the moment and I made the biggest mistake.
"In the day we had a challenge to rate your mates and I was the fourth fittest and told that apparently I didn't have any banter.
"Everything that day contributed to it. I'm not making excuses but it was the biggest mistake ever."

The blonde stunner also confessed that she "never wanted to lose [her] title", and hit back at pageant organisers, who claimed that they had given permission for Zara to appear on the show on the condition that she wouldn't engage in sexual activity.
She fumed: "They never said to me I couldn't have sex on TV. They gave a written permission and in that it never said anything."
Last week Zara made the decision to leave the island after receiving news that her mother Cheryl was ill.
She said at the time: “I’m so sad to leave the villa but it’s important for me to get home and spend time with my mum while she gets better.
“I’ve had the time of my life on Love Island and would like to thank all of my fellow Islanders and the production team for all their support.”
ITV chiefs said they would leave the door open for Zara's return - depending on the circumstances in the villa.
